Practicing to the sound of the pouring rain this morning felt magical. A few tough weeks and I feel like we are out the end and I’m feeling grateful for the good and the bad, each comes to teach us, to strengthen us, to remind us to keep feeling. Feel fully, consciously but with non attachment. Speaking to one of my dearest friends on the planet @lifestyleyoga.tc a few days ago, we agreed that as children we look up to adults and think they know it all, they have their s**t together. Now, being adults ourselves I realise that we certainly don’t know it all, we are still feeling, still navigating through this life, only with baggage and conditioning we’ve collected over the years. Our practice teaches us to be brave, to face the darkest days as well as the bright ones with courage and unafraid to feel. We don’t have all the answers and we aren’t suppose too, there is beauty in falling and when we lose the fear of hitting the ground we set ourselves free ❤️ . . . . . . #adulting#yoga#musings#practiceandalliscoming#yogadaily#flexibility#strength#myyogajourney#lifelessons#growth#yogagirl#yogalife#love#feel#igyoga#fearless#vinyasa#homepractice#upsidedown#perspective#lovelife#yogainspiration#yogaeveryday

The other day I played a game with a friend of mine. . She told me what a MAN stands for, in her opinion. . M stands for… A stands for... N stands for… and so on…. . It seemed fair that right after this I was asked to explain what a WOMAN stands for to me. . I thought about it for few hours. What W stands for, what do I think O should represent and so on... . .. and I wandered and wondered… . .. until I realized… I don’t think like everyone else… I don’t want what anyone can have... . I recalled a note I once had stuck to a fridge [to remind myself what’s important]… . right then I realized that I don’t spell WOMAN as everyone else does... . this is how I spell WOMAN… . R is for Respect…. . H is for Honesty…. . L is for Love… . Respect – she respects herself first. She respects her flaws & imperfections. She respects her limitations & power that is within her. . She respects others. . Not only kids, animals and elderly. Or those who agree with her. . It’s easy to respect when life is easy, but the true measure of her respect is how she deals with life when it doesn’t give her what she wants. . She respects those who did her wrong, those who hate her for no reason, and those who disagree with her. . Because she knows - respect is one of those things that is ALL or NONE. It’s not a pick & choose. . You’re either are respectful or you’re not. . Honesty – in the world where so many lies to themselves, and to others, some don’t. She is honest with herself… and because of this she earns trust. . Because of this... she teaches me to be honest by trusting me. She teaches me trust. . Love – unconditional. No strings attached. . Most importantly, and like other two ingredients, her love comes from within. . She loves herself and it shines. . You cannot love others when you think you don’t deserve love or when you think you’re not lovable. . But more than just loving herself, she is all about love, caring and giving. . Love is in everything she does, because she knows that love is not how you feel, but what you do. The way she looks at people, the way she speaks, the way she listens - all says L.O.V.E. . It's impossible not to love someone who embodies love itself.

It boils eggs… turning soft into hard… . . . It boils potatoes… turning hard into soft… . . . It also gives a new form to things… turns coffee into a delicious elixir [and we all addicted to it, aren’t we…]… it turns flour into a dough and helps create a masterpiece of a donut… [and I know who’s addicted to donuts too…] . . . water…! . . . you can live without food for a number of days by without water you won’t last as long… . . . just like water, the self is shapeless… . . . be like water… lose all your opinions and “should’s”… drop the fight or flight and just flow… and let things flow throughout... . . . . . . . #rippleclub#huawei#water
